Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, well it's hard to say.

Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?

Jack O'Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.

Worcestershire? I don't even know her

15
I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

14
- In revenge we invented Arkansas.
  
  26
  
  and Illinois.
  
  I've heard illi noise so many times I've given up on correcting it.

  I love how Americans pronounce "Arkansas River" depending on whether they're in Arkansas or Kansas.
  
  2
- It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

- if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.

  I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.

- It's not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people's words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don't give a fuck how you pronounce it. I'll pronounce it how it's spelled, or any other way I damn well please.
  
  There are more of us than there are of you. It's our language now, you're an anachronism.

War. Chester. Fight me.

14
- Don't forget the shire.
  
  15
Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨

14
- Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.
  
  15
  
  It's not the shire that worries me, it's where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going...
  
  11
Wooster-shire

13
- Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".
  
  11
  
  I'm from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that's reasonably correct?

  Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn't mean "Shire" to be pronounced like we Americans do it?

- I hear "Were-Chest-Sure" around here.

My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it "warsh-yer-sister" sauce.

12
I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.

What's-this-here sauce

Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason

8
- There's little visible name of the comic near it.

  Ooohhhhh! I actually didn't see that. so they're on webtoons under that name?

There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."

7
It's pronounced "Worcestershire".

7
- Well the guy that invented it says it's "Worcestershire" so....

wooster, as in Jeeves and.

Vor keester sheer

Woo shir shir shir sauce

4
Woo-stah-sure.

- I'm from England and wouldn't pronounce it like this at all. The "woo" sounds like you're a ghost or something and the "sure" part is just outright wrong.
  
  It's really hard express through text, but I'd say "wuss-ter-she-er" (the wuss part is pronounced the same way as if you're refering to a cowardly person), is much closer. Regional accents could make it different tho.

  It gets ‘em in the right ballpark, at least, and away from confidently saying “Wore-sess-tur-shah-yer”, so I’m good with it.

We just call it wooster

I just like to get on everyone's nerves and call it "that british fish sauce"

They had made love, and it had been sweet
Now she lay in his arms, her bliss was complete
"Can anything come between us?" she thought, "No way."
But she felt anxious, she needed to be sure today

She asked him, full of hope and youth
But instead of just kissing her, he said the truth

He hurt her so deeply, it made her want to die
For he said "online banking," when she asked, "What's on your mind?"
He said "online banking," and she wanted to weep
But she couldn't, she just lay there, and he fell asleep

Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.
